The violence in the end of times!

Yesterday friday night the evangelism team was out on the street as usual with coffe and some biscuits. When we were ready to wrap it up there came a girl walking on the street crying heavely. Louise the leader went to talk with her, and it turned out that she had been raped by 3 guys that had dragged her in to a alley somewhere not far from where we were.
She was 18 drunk and to young to get in to the pub where her friends were. So they left her outside alone. Then these 3 guys came and said they would help her, so she went with them.
Well! Listen to this! When her friends heard what had happened they of course got upset and started to cry, and one of the girls who was kinda stronger and a sort of "mothertype" in the group said that -"We have to be strong for her sake" and then she said -"This is getting to common, this is the 4:th friend of mine that has gotten raped". Now this was said like in a sence that they allmost thought it's normal! Like that's what girls has to count with!?

Well in one way that is true! cause if you are out there living in and playing with the SIN you are putting your self in very dangerious situations. The devil is walking around all the time, looking for someone to attack! So don't long for he joys of the world you will only get hurt in the long run!

A walk around "our" lake

This was a couple of weeks ago.
Today everything is bright yellow and red.
Just as beautiful any day though.

Our life in Stockholm

As you might have understod we are not yet living in Maccedonia.
Our hope is that it wan't take to long until we have something more permanent going on down there, but until then...

Lena is having a full time job at a hostel for homeless addicts. It's a good job that she likes a lot. She likes the people she meet and is having lots of fun with her colleagues.
We're convinced that the grace of God can turn any life around. So her prayer is that her life will show the love of Christ to the people she meet at her job, and through that give someone hope for a better tomorrow. What else than Jesus can fully move a person to solid ground?

Kenneth has different things going on. Two main things are the friday nights, when they are downtown handing out coffee and talking about Jesus. The other is Wednesday when there is "Stället" in church.
Stället is a cafémeeting with a focus on addicts and other broken people. There is lots of different people coming though and it's a nice homy feeling at these gatherings.
Another thing that he's doing and long to do more of is filming. Right now he's doing some short clips with testimonies from different people. Kenneth has more things he like to see come to past but we'll see what doors will be opened and when the right time is.

Something else that we are excited about, is that we have started to attend a language class in greek. We're fighting with the greek letters and wondering why there is so many different "i". But bit by bit we are going to learn it, Yes we will!

Sascha testimony
(Not yet with english subtitles, but he's a former drugaddict that after having heard the message about Jesus for 15 year by some faithfull christians, finally gave in and got saved. Now he's been in bibleschool and the Lord gave him life back and the job he has today!)


my pelargoniums

Now the autumn is here! likey likey
The sky is high and the air cold.
The wind is blowing hard in the trees.
I have taken our pelargoniums inside
to protect them from the night frost.

Oktober harvest


Before the frost is killing our carrots (that's been in the earth for 4 month!!) we decided to harvest (the one on the left is bought in a store) They are not big... but they are our beloved carrots, don't think I ever seen so beautiful carrots before... and never tasted such wounderful carrots ever before :-)
